La Ragnaie is a distinguished winery located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, in the renowned region of Montalcino. Known for producing high-quality Brunello di Montalcino, La Ragnaie stands out for its commitment to traditional winemaking methods combined with modern techniques that emphasize the expression of the terroir. The estate is situated in some of the highest-altitude vineyards in Montalcino, which gives the wines a unique balance of freshness, elegance, and depth.
The winery was founded by the Sangiovese enthusiast and winemaker, Giovanni Neri, and has since garnered a reputation for crafting exceptional wines that reflect the complexity and richness of the Montalcino landscape. La Ragnaie’s vineyards are planted mainly with Sangiovese, the cornerstone of Brunello di Montalcino, but also include small amounts of other varieties, adding complexity and nuance to their wines.
At La Ragnaie, the focus is on sustainability and organic farming practices, ensuring the preservation of the land and the production of wines that are true to the region’s natural environment. The grapes are hand-harvested, and winemaking processes are carefully managed to respect the integrity of the fruit. Aging takes place in large oak barrels, allowing the wines to mature gracefully, enhancing their structure and complexity while maintaining freshness and vibrancy.
La Ragnaie produces a range of wines, including Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and a selection of single-vineyard expressions that highlight the estate’s diverse terroirs. Their wines are characterised by depth, elegance, and a fine balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins, with the ability to age beautifully over time.
With its dedication to quality, authenticity, and the expression of Montalcino’s unique terroir, La Ragnaie has established itself as one of the premier producers in the region, crafting wines that are celebrated for their character, complexity, and longevity.
